If you ever go to the BF across Kaimuki high school, I highly recommend Lesley for assistance!!! She is very customer oriented. Maybe upon meeting her, let her know that you seen this review and she was recommended. It would brighten her day and I'm pretty sure she'll give great customer service.

Love this store and location. Plenty of parking. Huge interior with many local items to make local…read morecrafts. Staff are friendly and helpful when asking about particular crafts and supplies. Cost is higher but this is a local store and in town so you pay for convenience. Aisles filled with everything from clay, paints, poster boards, yarn, scrapbook materials, wood and everything you can imagine. This is one of those stores you wander the aisles looking at the shelves for interesting hobbies you may want to experience. Always an interesting time walking the aisles to just look and imagine what can be created. Definitely a place to take a look at and just explore that creative part of yourself!

Five stars because they are the single standard craft and art supply in the area, and they try to…read moremeet your needs. Staff are consistently cheerful, friendly, and helpful. In a location with no big box stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby-thank goodness for this small business and its inventory and personnel. Large parking lot -but usually crowded because of multiple stores and restaurants in the strip mall where it is located.

Harder to find street parking as it is kind of near main stripe of eatery but also wedged in residential area. The lady was sweet and we chatted.

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I had heard about Calico Cat, the fabric store, but never visited. I think I couldn't figure out where it was located. I happened to park right across the street from Calico Cat... in a metered street parking stall. Carol is the cheerful owner. She saw that I was confused because Every Day Better by Green Meadows is next door to Calico Cat. Carol explained the sign above that shows the name of the shop closest to each shop - depending on which way you face the sign. Ahhh... Calico Cat was described by their neighbor (Every Day Better by Green Meadows) as having fabric "eye candy". LOL! Yes - if you sew, you know that these bolts of material are very beautiful, whimsical, and unique! They are very inspirational and made me want to sew! Of course, I purchased a lot of material... thinking that Christmas is coming... I need to get a head start! Remember to get a Loyalty Card. Carol can hold it in the shop... among the 1000 cards she already has... filed by last name! Thank you for the free pen! I'll be back soon!

The staff have always been kind, helpful, patient, and fun to talk to. We truly miss going, and we even made a point to visit during a recent trip to Honolulu. I highly recommend making reservations in advance, as they can be pretty busy. A reservation also locks you in for at least 2 hours of painting time! Just give them a call, pay a small deposit, and book your time. Heads-up: they can be busy with customers during the day, so leave a voicemail and they get back to you pretty quickly! Since they are a small business, you may need to wait anywhere between 4-6 weeks for your pieces. Plan in advance to get them before you need them! The staff always makes sure we have a great time when we go.

While the selection cannot compare to their flagship store, there are still plenty of foam flowers here at an incredible deal. Foam flowers and accessories are pretty much what they specialize in, and they do it very well. I think their most popular items may be the six for $5 foam flowers found on the shelves at the entrance. You can mix and match between different sizes and colors. Fantastic deal for great gifts that are extremely easy to pack and won't break the wallet. To get to this outpost location, enter the Waikiki International Market Place from Kalakaua. Look towards the little storefronts on the righthand side, and it should be a few stores in from the street.

The Paperie is been in Kahala Mall and the place I go to browse regardless as this cute little shop is filled with so many cute items for everyone including our pets. I do love that they highlight the current event/holiday right when you walk in so that it filters out what you're most probably are looking for making it a great option to give someone or yourself as it was the Lunar New Year and finding various cards and Chinese horoscope is a great find though not easily keeping the whole set I didn't see the ones that I was looking for sadly.

Beads, charms, tools, forever lei supplies and so much more cover wall to wall in this shop! The store requests no pictures so it's difficult to show you what it has to sell. You can check out the Instagram account for examples. Literally floor to ceiling shelves, drawers, containers and more fill every inch of this store. A multitude of examples crafts give you ideas and the owner provides you information and help for your ideas. If you're a crafter, you may get disoriented or more so, distracted by all that this store offers you! We both picked up a few items during this sale. I'm a happy crafter.

I've followed BeaDazzle Shop for quite some time as they have an incredible inventory selection of all kinds...I walking in with an idea and leave with several new projects lol! The owner here is just a delight with so many components to make anything that you can imagine and my idea was to make a bracelet for the lunar new year and I've always wanted to learn and give it a try and here they sell various types of cords to do so with a great selection of colors and sold by the yard (mine was 0.50 a yard) you're not committed to too much but just what you need. The charms and gems here are just so impressive that I'm literally walking around in circles looking and deciding on which one so I just pretty much grab them all to decide later and she showed me some dragons that she had as well that was so adorable! Everything came together well as it was a learning experience that I did enjoy and now know that with some imagination...anything is possible and you can find the items here at BeaDazzle. Thank you!
